US biotech company Moderna announced Covid vaccine is 90 percent effective against all forms of the disease and 95 percent effective against severe disease.
The new results come from its ongoing Phase 3 clinical trial involving more 30,000 people across the United States, and the headline efficacy figure is a slight decrease from an earlier figure of 94.1 percent published in the New England Journal of Medicine in December.
The new number is based on 900 adjudicated cases of Covid from the study as of April 9, while the previous was based on 185 cases.
A company press release did not indicate why efficacy has fallen, but one reason might be the emergence of new variants of concern which are not as susceptible to antibodies evoked to the vaccine.

Top stories for today: Stocks either fell or rose, and Moderna’s Vaccine Efficacy fell Slightly. Moderna, no doubt, is hoping for a rebound.
From an interesting article Apr 13, 2021 “Why BP has the lowest vaccination rates?”
“A robocall circulating in the community warns not only of infertility supposedly caused by the vaccine, but also of heart attacks, “aneurysm, stroke, hemorrhage, paralysis, seizures, psychosis, anxiety, cognitive problems, digestive disorders” and a laundry list of other problems.
“And on WhatsApp Tuesday morning, users were sharing a video of a woman counting funeral and shiva notices in her inbox, as she said she had more to attend now than she did during the entirety of 2020, suggesting those deaths were caused by the vaccine.
“Why is no one freaking out about the overwhelming number of deaths?” she asked.”
The information on the robocall is straight from VAERS (vaccine adverse event reporting) and can be seen on medalerts.org. It also comes from first hand stories in Israel. I saw the video that @anyonymous is talking about and it is true for that woman’s community although BH not for the community I live in, which is why people still think the vaccines are perfectly safe. Many people don’t know personally someone who was adversely affected.
